The Vision by Pete Greig

The words of 'The Vision' were written late one night on the wall of the first ever 24-7 Prayer Room. It wasn't a big deal, says Pete Greig, ... just a very personal thing - trying to work out the call on my life and why I was awake at 0300 praying when sane people are all tucked up in bed! But somehow the words of The Vision escaped that Prayer Room! They must have been copied off the wall by someone and sent as an email to a friend. Pete recalls: I didn't realise any of this until someone in Canada emailed my own poem to me saying they had come across it and thought I might like it!

Before long The Vision was being printed in magazines, remixed by DJ's in New York and Sweden and even choreographed in Spain! In August 2001 The Vision was published in a magazine called 'The Way' which circulates a staggering 100,000 underground churches in China. The very same week the words were quoted by 10,000's of American young people at an event called 'The Call' in Washington DC. Somehow the words scrawled on a Prayer Room wall had taken on a life of their own. The Vision had become a personal mission-statement for many - a generational call to arms. http://www.24-7prayer.com

Powerful video. May God continue to raise up an army of holy men and women who will give themselves totally for the cause of Jesus Christ!

Love it. Anyone heard Jake Hamiltons 'new song (worshipping warriors)' when you get to about 6 mins Jake starts to speak this over the song, it's awesome. Holy Spirit fill guaranteed! :)

@musicalnomad8 I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing when I first saw this bro. And yet, there is one real Truth that exists, so I believe these things mentioned are LITERALLY happening in the spiritual realm. Just cause we can't see them - the Truth is bigger them all of us, right?

I first came to know about this poem because I found it writen on a wall in the basement of Holmsted Manor in England. It says everything I've been thinking in my heart for years but couldn't put to words...
